Actually, the weather is mild in the area we live. It never gets hotter than 86. But from what I hear about the weather on the east coast last week, you guys would have been rolling your eyes at my complaints about it being cold earlier this week.
The move started off as a joke. We had been talking about moving to the west coast. My husband was reading an article on the open source software movement in Brazil in Wired Magazine a few weeks before the Election. His father was a diplomat and he has lived or traveled extensively in Latin America, Africa, the Middle East, Europe and Asia. So, going to live in some "exotic" location appeals to him. Anyway, we are liberals and had been freaking out over all the stuff the Bush administration had been doing, so I jokingly told him that if Kerry lost lets move our business to Brazil. I started researching start up companies setting up expatriate business operations and how cheap it was to live in developing countries. After the election, and my research showing how much our cost of living would go down, we started talking seriously about it. While we were leaning toward moving to brazil, we looked at Costa Rica (we have friends that did it there), Malaysia (some other friends there) and about six other countries. Mexico was among them. Over time it went from our second choice to our first choice. I'm relatively sure we are going to stay, at least for a while.
